Hello there! You have arrived to Day 2 of Fig Fun Week! And today I've got some chocolate for you!

A while ago I saw how Lisa dipped some fresh figs in chocolate and I loved that idea so much that I decided to do the same thing! Well, not exactly...

Last week I got that chocolate candy bar mold from the picture and I really really had to use it. You know the felling when you have a new toy, right? I'm not the only one like that, am I?

You know what? Fresh figs and dark chocolate are gooooooood! But again, can you please tell me what's not good with chocolate?! What did you say? Shoes? Oh well, you can allways just lick the chocolate and leave the shoe! Can you please ignore that, I must be high on chocolate...

Anyway, you've gotta love a recipe with just 2 ingredients! Even if you don't have a chocolate candy bar mold, you can do as Lisa did or do bonbons with small paper cups, as you would do if you were to make peanut butter cups. You don't wanna bother? Just get a chocolate bar and some fresh figs, eat them together and you'll be done!

Me, I've put dark chocolate on the bottom and sides of the mold, let the chocolate set, filled with fresh figs mashed with a fork and then covered the all thing with chocolate. My mold is quite thin, so there's not a lot of fig filling but it was still very good. I think next time I'll do molded bonbons. The good thing is that figs don't oxidIZE, so they keep that gorgeous pink color inside the dark chocolate. I like that!

Another awesome fig recipe, Cookie my dear! How can chocolate and the sweetness of figs NOT be wonderful together? It's like rainsettes, but only tons better :) Wait, maybe they don't have those in Europe...

Are you kidding with this picture?? I can not even explain how delicious that looks. And I love figs. This is enough to make me want to run out and buy a mould. Oh my, I have to look at it again right now.......

Wow, these look amazing. I love figs. I mean I just love them. And chocolate..This sandwich of chocolate an figs is mouthwatering and delicious. I think I might accidentally eat my fingers in the excitement of it all.
